Duke’s Most Shocking NCAA Tournament Defeats: Which Collapse Against UConn Still Haunts Fans?
The No. 1 overall seed was at least courteous enough to give us some warning this March Madness run might not go as hoped. They needed comebacks to beat both No. 16 seed Siena and No. 5 seed St. John’s, with the former becoming the first No. 16 seed to hold a double-digit halftime lead over a No. 1 seed.
But Duke didn’t need a comeback to beat UConn. It just needed to hold on. Duke led by as many as 19 points in the first half, but Dan Hurley’s group just kept chipping away. Even then, though, Duke just had to hold onto the ball with 10 seconds left, instead of… this.
